Why Albert Edward Can Fight.
From the London Modern Society.

From the London Modern Society.
Lord Lyons ls d great authority in
al matters of etiquette, and on one
occasion someyears back, was consult
ed by the Prince ofWales on the posi-
bility of His Royal Highness's fighting a
duel the Princess having been grossly in
suited. Lord Lyons pointed out rather
bluntly the fact that such q combat
would be unequal, for that the adver-
sary could only defend himself, any
attack upon the person Of the heir ap-
parent constituting high treason. The
Prince acted on this advice, and "con-
GUIDED" as the Yankees would say,
to let the matter drop.

knights of labor Demand AN Account
ing by the Executive Board.
PHILADELPHIA, Dee. l2.-At meeting
Of representative men from nearly all
the local assemblies. Knights of Labor,
resolutions were adopted recommend
ing that all the local assemblies make
demand upon the General Executive
Board for an itemized account of all the
expenditures made by that body
during the past year, SO that they
may know where and how the
100000 was disbursed. If the General
Executive Board should fail or decline
to render such an account, it is proposed
to compel it to do so by law. This mat
ter has been under consideration
among the members of the local assem-
blies, it is alleged, for several months.
and now assumes definite shape. 1t is
also alleged that over $4,000 had been
disbursed by the board for especial
work" and this. it is said. is the cause
of the steps taken at the meeting.

COAL FAMINE IN KANSAS.
Farmers Growing Desperate Owing I
Shortage of Coal,

Shortage of Coal.
WICHITA, KS, Dec. 8.-A widespread
coal famine prevails through the Western
part of Kansas. Railroad companies
have been shipping hundreds of car
loads of coal through from Colorado to
this city and eastern points, but only
once in while can they be induced to
drop off load in the western part of the
state. Farmers finally captured train
of coal cars and took what they wanted.
Private dispatches to this city to-day
say another mob of settlers took in
charge another train last night and filed
their wagons. Thew left their names
and money for what they took. Great
suffering has been the result of the lack
of fuel. Trouble is feared if the railroad
does not furnish fuel for the western set
tiers, as they have grown desperate.
